“…We found that therapeutic levels of aspirin and its metabolite salicylic acid suppress the growth, migration, invasion, wound healing, and anchorageindependent colony formation of HMGB1-secreting human mesothelioma cells. Moreover, in vivo, aspirin significantly inhibited mesothelioma growth in a xenograft model (21). These findings illustrated a novel mechanism by which aspirin may exert its anti-tumorigenic properties (e.g., HMGB1 inhibition) while remaining consistent with its well-described anti-inflammatory properties.…”
